"'Áunty Tips'' for the year ahead....

This appeared in Mumbai Mirror....

The
countdown has begun!

Readers, here are a few helpful ‘aunty’
tips to see you safely through the New Year. …

Let’s start with guy tips…

Tip No.1: Don’t be a cheapo. If you can’t afford it,or are
too kanjoos to spend, scrap the celebrations. Stay home and get drunk by
yourself. But if you want the evening to be special, don’t count! Nothing ruins
a date more than a man constantly reminding his date about the kharcha. This is
one night when a date should be a proper date! No splitting costs, please.

Tip No.3 : Dress down rather than up. Avoid
brocade jackets. Poor Ranveer Singh is still recovering after his fashion
disaster at Deepika P’s bash. Keep it simple. Keep it sober. Keep it stylish.
Overshadowing your date is never a good idea. Especially if it’s New Year’s
Eve.

Tip No. 3 : Make sure you eat something
before you hit the bar. Most importantly,make sure your date eats something ,
too. Knocking back Bubbly on an empty stomach is a recipe for disaster. Why get
shattered before midnight…. and pass out when the countdown actually happens?
If you want to prolong the evening, line your stomach well…and then attack that
well stocked bar.

Tip No. 4 : Don’t forget all about your
date once you get to the party. Remember, she can as easily forget you, too!
But what she will appreciate and remember later, is that extra attention you pay, making sure her glass is
refilled, making sure she has a place to sit, making sure she is safe at all
times!

Tip
No. 5 : You are obliged to see a lady home – no matter how inconvenient it is,
and no matter how late. If she has a deadline, it is your responsibility to
make sure it is kept. It will earn you more respect, even if at that moment
it’s a real bummer! End the evening on a great note. There’s nothing quite as
romantic as sharing breakfast as the sun rises on a fresh year.

And here come some tips for chicks with a plan:

Tip No.1 : Look hot…. not cheap. Don’t
embarrass your guy by wearing something
that has “ Wardrobe malfunction”
written all over it. You really don’t want your body parts jumping out at strangers. Make sure
you can sit and dance comfortably – it’s always a looooong evening, remember?

Tip No.2: Even if you have been on a
starvation diet to fit into that slinky number, make sure of two things before
stepping out : drink sufficient water
and stay hydrated. Eat a quick snack at home, so your first drink doesn’t knock
you out.

Tip No. 3: Do not accept drinks / ciggies /
any other substance from strangers. Try and stay close to your date or people
you know well. Avoid dark corners or deserted passages. Don’t go to the loo on your own. Or let
someone know where you are headed.

Tip No. 4 : Don’t share contact details
with random people. Don’t leave your handbag or phone on the table while you
head for the dance floor. Car and house keys must be secured at all times. Let
someone responsible know exactly where you are, especially if you change the
venue or original plan. Don’t get into a car with unknowns, no matter how
desperate you are to get a ride back home. If your date appears too trashed to
drive, call a cab or hire a party driver for the night. And whatever you do,
don’t take the wheel yourself assuming you are more sober than he is.

Tip No. 5 : Show appreciation! If your date
/ partner / husband has taken the trouble to construct a special evening for
you, let the person know how much you appreciate the effort. Buy an interesting
man- gift and write a loving note. Articulate your feelings, and reciprocate at
an appropriate time by treating him to a terrific meal or taking him to your
favourite holiday place.

New Years are for new beginnings. 2013 has
been a tough year on all fronts. So many pesky ‘P s’ have ruined the happiness of countless women (
and a few men!). Perverts, Privacy issues. Power games. Promises (fake) .Pitfalls
(Section 377). But hey! Things are definitely looking up!
